Independence Day has a special place on our calendar. It’s the day when people get together regardless of their political affiliations to celebrate this important day in the country’s history. It’s also the day when it feels fine to don your best red, white, and blue costume and feel as patriotic as the next person. But the 4th of July is also best known for something else: fireworks. Your dogs may hate the noise, but that’s something we all wait for every year. The Poconos take elaborate steps to celebrate this special day in style. Here’s a quick guide to the best fireworks in the area and the best times to catch them on your Poconos 4th of July getaway!
Honesdale Central Park
This free event starts in the evening. That’s the best time to enjoy the fireworks in all their splendor. The festivities usually start around 6.30 pm and include fun activities for the whole family. Plenty of food and live entertainment to keep everyone happy until the fireworks start.
Mount Airy Casino Resort
Everyone is invited to this free celebration of Independence Day. Around 9:30 in the evening the sky turns bright with all the colors of the fireworks.

Dansbury Park, East Stroudsburg
This two-day Fourth of July Poconos event celebrates the patriotic holidays with much fanfare. It’s more of a carnival than a regular festival.
